TalentLMS is user-friendly enough for someone new to LMS management can get a site up and running in a relatively quick manner. It is rather intuitive to operate. My needs have been a rather small scale of 400 learners and TalentLMS more than meets the need to produce a professional-looking and operational website to send customers and staff. The point here is that although I do not know how well it can be up-scaled, it certainly delivers for small to medium organizations to need to get content online

I found GoSkill's project management course to be beneficial, well-paced and relatively inexpensive. After taking a course myself, I realized my team would benefit too, so we tried out the GoSkills LMS. It’s simple to use and I can easily see how well someone is doing in a course, and slot new employees into training as needed.You need not look anywhere else - everything you need is provided in full detail.

Cons
  • It should be easier to re-send someone their initial course assignment email notification. The notification engine is a little non-intuitive.
  • I was trying to add a user to our account the other day (not a user - an internal employee that I wanted to give access to our system) and I had trouble finding it

The ease of use, the robustness of the offering, and familiarity. It does everything we need and probably more. We likley don't utilize all the functionality it has as it does what we want it to without having to dig that deep into its tools. Their course library also has saved us some time in terms of saving time from creating some basic courses.

Usability
The system is intuitive. It does not have a lot of features that are hidden behind secret menus or elsewhere. There are often multiple ways to get to the same place through different menus without having to go back to the home or root menu. It makes things pretty easy. Additionally, if there is something I can't figure out, there is documentation available to help with that.

The search feature alone is outstanding. When we needed technical assistance, it was provided with ease and clarity. Any representative we have worked with has been professional, knowledgeable, and good to work with, even if we were in different time zones or areas of the world.

Implementation Rating
Implementation was relatively easy. When we set up a second branch, we needed a little help. But the support area is well-detailed. My clients had no experience with an LMS and their digital skills were limited. We had a long way to go. Nevertheless, it was relatively easy. It was rather quick!

Alternatives Considered
Out of the box, Talent is easier to use than Learn Dash, which can be quite convoluted to set up, as it requires the integration and configuration of multiple plugins. As a result, we spent a lot less time getting things set up in Talent than LearnDash. Talent was also much less expensive than Litmos.

I needed to take a project management course and didn't know where to start. I did a bunch of Googling and decided on GoSkills because it was a quick class. I was really happy I started with the GoSkills Project Management class because it was a great introduction to to the industry. Based on the knowledge I got from GoSkills I was able to decide to pursue more Project Management education. I started on trying to decide which online education platform to go with. It was between Google/Coursera, Udemy, GoSkills and maybe a bootcamp. I went with GoSkills because it was short and I could get an idea of what I was going to learn in a longer course. I'm really happy with the path I took and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn about project management
